Includes the column headers as defined on the Table
Tab in the report. Clear the box to exclude the column
headers from the report.
Print column headers
NOTE We do not recommend that you enable the Print filter information, Print
header, or Print information options when you create reports for tables on the
nailboard drawing since they affect the parsing of the data when the table is
created.
Generating Reports
To generate a report, you select one or more configuration files to use, and
then click OK to generate the report. The output file is saved to the specified
location, and one or more reports are displayed in the Report Generator
document window for viewing.
A data type consistency check is performed as the reports are processed, and
a log file is generated. The consistency check is performed for all properties
on all harness objects associated with the selected harness assembly. For each
property used on an object in a harness assembly, only one data type can be
associated with the property name. For example, an inconsistency can occur
if a connector part with a specific property and data type is placed into a
harness assembly that contains a wire or segment with the same property
name, but a different data type.
The log file details any properties with conflicting data types. If there is a
failure in the data type consistency check, the location of the log file is listed,
and you are prompted whether to continue.
Create Part and Wire Bills of Material
In this exercise, you generate a simple bill of materials report for the parts and
wires in the harness design using the sample file
Part_Splice_Wire_Cable_BOM.cfg.
Before you begin, verify that the harness assembly is saved and fully up to
date (Update button is not active).
NOTE You can also create a complete bill of materials and parts lists using standard
Autodesk Inventor features.
